What was associated with the gospel of the kingdom in Jesus' ministry?

Les teaches that in Matthew 4:23 and 9:35, Jesus went about Galilee and the cities and villages of Israel, teaching in the synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom. In association with that gospel of the kingdom, the verse finishes by saying He was healing every sickness and every disease. Les emphasizes it was not just some but all of them; another place says He healed them all—not just a few or the one with the most faith.
